IMPORTANT NOTE: The “Hooked On Bluegrass” gallery is under construction as of late-April 2011. While you can explore the collection, don’t be alarmed by inconsistent formatting, test entries, or comments within entries made by yours truly. Once all 230+ items are posted, I will review and tweak them. Feel free to submit your own “Hooked” story and a small photo (or update an earlier submission). Send it to Rick Cornish and he’ll forward it to me. Let us know if you find that the wrong photo or name has been used in an entry. --Allan French

It’s our experience that people who are into bluegrass music don’t ‘like’ it.....they LOVE it. To date we‘ve had over two hundred people.....men, women, boys and girls; CBA members and nationally-known artists alike....write in and tell us how their love affairs began. From listening to the Opry on a crystal radio to being given a cassette while in the military; from being turned on to Bill Monroe by a college room mate to accidently walking into a pizza joint where a jam was in progress. Some stories are funny, some are touching, and some are downright amazing.

Welcome to the CBA’s Hooked on Bluegrass page. Scan the listing of folks below and click on one whose story you want to read. Oh, and to share your own story, just send it in to rcornish@jscoe.net .
